Book excerpt: These are poems and paintings which reflect the poet's struggle to make order out of chaos. For years, Mikdadi has struggled for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. At different junctures in his life, his despair at the intransigence of both sides and at the sheer cruelty of what Palestinians have had to endure, led him to write poetry and, occasionally, to paint in watercolours. These are some of the poems and paintings that he produced during his life. They speak for themselves. Maeve Binchy felt that Faysal Mikdadi's passion makes his poetry impossible to ignore. There is also a black and white version of this colour book also published by Lulu. It has been printed because this colour version, being printed entirely in colour, was deemed a trifle expensive. The black and white version allows readers to afford a copy. This colour version has also been published as an e-book.
